"Stubborn." That's the secret to a long life, according to Kentfield resident Rita Calumet.
The 87 year old's stubbornness has put her in an exclusive class and made her something of a medical wonder. Calumet has survived the past 75 years, fighting Type 1 diabetes and giving herself regular insulin injections.
"I'm glad I've had the life I've had. I've had pretty good life let me tell you," she said. "Lots of bad things happened ? but I had two children and I just love them and life's been good to me."
